We get a mixture of all abilities, age groups, singles, couples and even small groups attending our Running Challenge. Whether your aim is to just complete the 5 challenges or to try and win each stage, you are very welcome to join us.

     

As our guests travel from all over the world to attend our training and challenge holidays, we ask them to arrange their own transport to this location. This not only helps keep the package costs low but also gives guests the flexibility to choose their own airline and arrival time… more about flights

The local airport in the Algarve is FARO. Once guests have confirmed their reservation on this challenge holiday we ask them to send us their planned travel itinerary before booking. We normally ask for an arrival and departure time of between 9:00 – 15:00. These times quite often don't suit so we will work with you to make sure transfers are arranged.
